Poslanica Hebrejima 8

Biblija Hrvatski	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 A glavno u ovom izlaganju jest: takva imamo Velikog svećenika koji sjede zdesna prijestolja Veličanstva na nebesima	1 The main point of what has been said is this: we have such a high priest, who has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,
2 kao bogoslužnik Svetinje i Šatora istinskoga što ga podiže Gospodin, a ne čovjek.	2 a minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle that the Lord, not man, set up.
3 Doista, svaki se veliki svećenik postavlja da prinosi darove i žrtve. Odatle je potrebno da i on ima što bi prinio.	3 Now every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; thus the necessity for this one also to have something to offer.
4 Svakako, da je na zemlji, ne bi bio svećenik jer postoje oni koji po Zakonu prinose darove.	4 If then he were on earth, he would not be a priest, since there are those who offer gifts according to the law.
5 Oni služe slici i sjeni onoga nebeskoga, kako je upućen Mojsije kad se spremao praviti Šator: Pazi, veli doista, načini sve po praliku koji ti je pokazan na brdu.	5 They worship in a copy and shadow of the heavenly sanctuary, as Moses was warned when he was about to erect the tabernacle. For he says, "See that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain."
6 Ovako mu pak dopalo uzvišenije bogosluženje koliko je Posrednik boljega Saveza, koji je uzakonjen na boljim obećanjima.	6 Now he has obtained so much more excellent a ministry as he is mediator of a better covenant, enacted on better promises.
7 Da je, zbilja, onaj prvi bio besprijekoran, ne bi se drugome tražilo mjesto.	7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, no place would have been sought for a second one.
8 Doista, kudeći ih veli: Evo dolaze dani – govori Gospodin – kad ću s domom Izraelovim i s domom Judinim dovršiti novi Savez.	8 But he finds fault with them and says: "Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will conclude a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah.
9 Ne Savez kakav učinih s ocima njihovim u dan kad ih uzeh za ruku da ih izvedem iz zemlje egipatske jer oni ne ustrajaše u mom Savezu pa i ja zanemarih njih – govori Gospodin.	9 It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers the day I took them by the hand to lead them forth from the land of Egypt; for they did not stand by my covenant and I ignored them, says the Lord.
10 Nego, ovo je Savez kojim ću se svezati s domom Izraelovim nakon ovih dana – govori Gospodin: Zakone ću svoje staviti u dušu njihovu i upisati ih u njihova srca. I bit ću Bog njihov, a oni narod moj.	10 But this is the covenant I will establish with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their minds and I will write them upon their hearts. I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
11 I neće više nitko učiti sugrađanina i nitko brata svoga govoreći: »Spoznaj Gospodina«, ta svi će me poznavati, malo i veliko,	11 And they shall not teach, each one his fellow citizen and kinsman, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for all shall know me, from least to greatest.
12 jer ću se smilovati bezakonjima njihovim i grijeha se njihovih neću više spominjati.	12 For I will forgive their evildoing and remember their sins no more."
13 Kad veli novi, ostari onaj prvi. Što pak stari i dotrajava, blizu je nestanku.	13 When he speaks of a "new" covenant, he declares the first one obsolete. And what has become obsolete and has grown old is close to disappearing.
